Amongst Liverpool’s collection of classic art in the Walker Art Gallery you can now find its latest addition - a Bansky statue. The bust of a priest with a pixelated face entitled ‘Cardinal Sin’, appears to be a comment on corruption and scandal in the Church. Unlike his previous works in other museums around the world where he was heavily disguised and planted them without permission (see a video of his amazing prank right here), we were told that Banksy approached the Liverpool gallery about displaying his sculpture under strict instruction that it be placed in a specific wing of the Old masters. While some may find it controversial, it’s good to see that Banksy is still doing what he does best: stirring up the public.
